Casio EX-FC150 vs Nikon S100 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing a spec sheet. The image below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-FC150 and S100.

As you can see, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Nikon S100 to provide you with more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC150 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
